United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. LIEBELER. Would you go through the period of time that you knew the
Oswalds, and to the best of your recollection tell us the approximate
number of times that you saw them and the circumstances under which you
saw them, and the dates that you can remember, from the first time you
met them at Robert Oswald's house at Fort Worth, to the last time that
you saw them?
Mr. GREGORY. Okay. We have already gone through the first meeting, and
right after the first meeting I left town for about a month. I visited
in San Francisco. I returned and then we decided it would be a good
idea if I would take Russian lessons from Marina, and it would be quite
a big help.
Therefore, the second time I saw them was in June, the middle of June,
a month, and to the 10th of August, let's say, just as a guess, we went
over to their house, my father and I.
We had to go somewhere, and therefore we only stayed for about ten
minutes. And we said, "Paul would like to take Russian lessons from
Marina," and she said, "Fine." And I set up dates to go twice a week, I
think Tuesdays and Thursdays, or Tuesdays and Fridays--I can't remember
the exact dates. Therefore, I was at their house two times a week from,
say, the middle of August until I went back to school which was in the
middle of September.
Mr. LIEBELER. Were you also present at the dinner which your father
gave for the Oswalds?
Mr. GREGORY. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Who else was present at that dinner?
Mr. GREGORY. Myself, my father, the Oswalds, George Bouhe, Anna Meller,
her husband, I can't remember his first name; then Mrs. Clark and Mr.
Clark. I can't give you their first names.
Mr. LIEBELER. You clearly remember that they were there?
Mr. GREGORY. I think they were there. I could be mistaken. There is a
possibility they weren't. I can't remember exactly.
Usually, the reason is, whenever we have the Russians over, they were
there. Now that I think about it, they weren't, because I believe
my mother was the only one that didn't understand, and Mrs. Clark's
husband didn't understand Russian. Therefore, I guess they weren't
there. Then my mother was there and June Lee was there.
Mr. LIEBELER. The Oswalds' little girl?
Mr. GREGORY. Yes. I believe that was all. And I saw them once more,
if you are interested. That was probably the Friday or Saturday after
Thanksgiving of 1962.
Marina called up. I was home for vacation. And she said that she
and Lee were at Robert Oswald's house for Thanksgiving dinner, or
something, and she wanted me to come over and pick them up and have the
visit, and I would take them down to the bus station, because they rode
the bus over from Dallas.
They had since then moved to Dallas. And I went and picked them up and
brought them back to our house and we had sandwiches, and I took them
down to the bus station, and that was the last time I saw them.
Mr. LIEBELER. You just left them off at the bus station and they went
and got on the bus, and as far as you know, went back to Dallas?
